U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-2788
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Grasz, Circuit
Judge]
Criminal case - Sentencing. Claim that Armed Career Criminal Act
sentencing violated defendant's equal protection rights because it has a
disparate impact on non-white defendants rejected in the absence of any
proof of a discriminatory intent or purpose in enacting the law or in its
application to his case either before the district court or this court;
none of the convictions used as predicates for application of the Act were
juvenile convictions and defendant's argument that the Act has a disparate
impact on juvenile convictions is rejected; even if the court agrees that
defendant's Wisconsin robbery conviction does not qualify as an ACCA
predicate offense, he still had the three convictions necessary to apply
the Act; the district court did not err in denying defendant's request for
credit for time served on a prior state conviction; defendant provided no
proof for his claim the government improperly delayed bringing the charges
against him.
